You look like a posed action man doll, steve. I’m concerned that you’re wasting your salad years in a forced march, military stiffness.

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

It was like butter out at the point today.

Cold, hard butter.

Should have hit SP instead.

Garie. Jumbled overhead peaks, and fairly punchy as always. Surfed the 6”10 set up as a 2+1 instead of a straight single.

Big difference in feel and performance. As a single the board feels more neutral with even flowing speed. As a 2+1 it pushes back harder through turns and has more bite.

I like the feel of both.

Great review Steve, I often thought less is more in good waves but just thought that was me being lazy.... now I feel my approach has been validated, thanks!
